2. Description of the Prior Art

As SARS rapidly spreads from China to all over the world, it caused apanic everywhere. It is recommended by all governments in the world tocover your mouth and nose with a mask, to keep your hand clean and tointensify your immunity against virus of SARS to minimize anypossibility of infection, etc. before the discover of effective vaccine.It is a pity that the investigation on the filtering effect of 90% ofmasks on the market is proved to be insufficient to keep out infectiousparticles in the air.

On the other hand, the recently developed air filters imposing anactivated charcoal layer is proved to be invalid for interruptingtransmission of SARS' bacteria either.

It is reported that the source of environmental contamination is notcaused by contaminated air itself, but instead, the contamination isbrought about by the increase of positive ions in the atmosphere whichhas been contaminated by infectious bacterias. It is believed thatpollinosis is caused by the fir, wood pollens, but actually it is thepolluted dust particles in the air which stimulate the human nose whenbeing inhaled that is the essential origin of allergic. Such allergicreaction to dust particles can be alleviated by supplying the freshnegatively ionized air which after being passed through the filterscreen.

As it is well known that the filter screen of an air conditioner is onlyeffective for eliminating the dust and the louse, but ineffective forimproving quality of the air. The air released from the air conditionercan only contribute to giving the people staying in the room a coolfeeling.

The greatest ecocatastrophes threating the human nowadays are water andair pollution. About 70% of the area of the globe is occupied by ocean,also 70˜80% weight of human body is water, and especially air isindispensable. In order to solve the problem of conflict betweenenvironmental contamination inevitably caused by the development of hightechnical industries and establishment of a comfortable and wholesomeworld, it is important to improve the living quality for every person byovercoming at first surrounding air and water pollutions which have beenannoying him/her.

There are several causes of water pollutions, among which the mostpredominate ones are discharging the industrial waste water, anddiscarding poultry and domestic animals excreta, or rubbish directly towater sources such as streams and rivers. Fluorine is added with littleeffect to city running water for trying to recover the confidence ofconsumers. People reply on spring water and distilled water on market astheir drinking water, but for the regular domestic works, such aswashing clothes, bathing and cleaning vegetables and fruits, etc. theystill have to use the incompletely sterilized city running water so thatthey are by no means released from pollution in this respect.

In addition to this, exhausted poisonous gases discharged from variousfactories, carbon monoxide produced due to incompletely combustedautomobile fuel further added to come to attack citizens' health as ifthey were confined in a sealed chamber filled with poisonous gases.

In order to rectify such worldwide problems of environmentalcontamination, the applicant for patent of the present invention,through a longterm effort of study and experiment, has succeeded indeveloping a filter screen and an apparatus of the present inventionwhich at least will release people from wearing a gas mask when they areworking on the street, or suffering from polluted water. However, theinvention is disclosed hereinafter.

The above mentioned mineral plate is made of ceramic capable ofirradiating a far infrared ray.

The filter screen 100 made as such is capable of negatively ionizing theions in the air flowing therethrough so as to purify the air into thenatural state and improve the quality of the air and health of humanbeing by releasing the energy wave in the above defined range of wavelength when being applied to various environments.

The example of application of the filter screen 100 according to thepresent invention will be described hereinafter.

Referring to FIG. 2, the mask has a cover 1 made of non woven cloth asits main body, and a pocket 11 is provided behind the cover 1. Anactivated charcoal layer 2 is provided behind a non woven cloth layer 12within the air inlet of the pocket 11. The filter screen 100 of thepresent invention is provided behind the activated charcoal layer 2. Thefilter screen 3 can irradiate energy wave of wave length in the range offrom 5 μm˜20 μm so as to negatively ionize the air passing therethroughbecause the filter screen 3 has been electrically treated in the tankmade of mineral plate.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, when the user wears the mask, the airinhaled from the nose and mouth passes through the non woven cloth layer12 for the first filtering stage, then passes through the activatedcharcoal layer 2 for eliminating the polluted air as the secondfiltering stage, and then passes through the filter screen 3 as the lastfiltering stage to negatively ionize the air so as to supply thewholesome purified air into the users' lungs thereby avoiding invasionof the infectious bacterias into the users' bodies.

As shown in FIG. 5, the filter screen of the present invention may beequipped in the room air filter 4, wherein a common filter screen 41 isprovided in front of the air path of the air filter 4, an activatedcharcoal layer 42 is provided behind the common filter screen 41, andthe filter screen 5 of the present invention.5 of the present inventionis equipped behind the activated charcoal layer 42. With this scheme,the air flowing through the filter screen 5 may be negatively ionized soas to supply natural and clean air into the room thereby maintaining theroom in a clean and non-contaminated state.

Referring to FIG. 6, the block diagram of the present invention, theapparatus for aiding vehicle fuel combustion and purifying exhaust gascomprises a fuel activation device 1000 and an air purification device2000. By means of employing the fuel activation device 1000, the fuelsupplied into the engine 3000 may be more activated, and by conductingthe air to pass through the air purification device 2000, the airentering the engine 3000 may be more purified so that the fuelcombustion will be more perfect to reduce the air pollution.

As shown in FIG. 7, the fuel activation device 1000 is composed of amain body 1 and a plurality of active sphere balls 2 accommodated in themain body 1. The main body 1 is preferably made of a stainless steelhollow tube with its both ends opened, and structured inmulti-sectionalized segments or multi-bushing series with a straighttube part 10 in the middle with two joints 3 provided at the both ends.The inner portion of the main body 1 is separated by nets 101, 102, 103,and 104 into proper number of compartments for accommodating propernumber of active sphere balls 2 made of materials capable of irradiatinga far infrared ray, such as ceramic, titanium dioxide (TiO₂), and raremetals such as Manganese (Mn); Magnesium (Mg) mixed and pressed withspecial stone powder emittable of a strong far infrared ray, and thenheated at a temperature of 1300° C. so as to have the ability of farinfrared ray radiation. The composition of an active sphere ball 2 is:SiO₂ 29%˜38%, TiO₂ 35%˜46%, Mn 21%˜29%, Mg 2%˜4%, all in weightpercentage, and special stone powder 7%˜15% in weight percentageconsisting at least one element selected from the group includingSelenium (Se), Lanthanum (La), Molybdenum (Mo), Nickel (Ni), andAluminum (Al). A voltage of 5 mv is impressed on a 5 g weight sphereball 2 to irradiate a far infrared ray of wave length 4˜14 μm therebyconverting the optical energy to electro-chemical energy so as tocollide with, and activate the fuel flowing through.

After inserting the nets 101, 102 . . . into, and accommodating activesphere balls 2 in the main body 1, the main body 1 is connected with thejoint 3 with the screw threads 11 provided at the two terminals of itsmiddle tube. The joint 3 is a T-shaped screw combining part with itsother end formed into a tube coupling 31 thereby providing a means forconnecting with a soft transmission conduit that provides a smoothpassage for the fuel. This soft transmission conduit is connectedbetween a fuel tank 5000 and the engine 3000 when activating the fuel asshown in FIG. 8.

Referring to FIG. 9, the air purification device 2000 has an aforesaidfilter screen 4 interposed in the conduit which interconnects the airfilter 4000 and the engine 3000. The metallic filter screen 4 asdescribed above, may be inserted into the main body of the conduit whichhas coupling joint at both ends. Being formed with a natural mineralsubstance, this metallic screen 4 is able to emit an electrical wave ofa wave length 5 μm˜20 μm to negatively ionize the air. With thistreatment by electrical wave, the air entering the engine recovers itsclean state without mixing with any pollution particles.

Accordingly, the apparatus for aiding vehicle fuel combustion andexhaust gas purification is very effective for activating the fuelbefore its combustion. When the fuel flows through the apparatus, SO₂ ormolecules which are easy to form into CO considered to be difficult todecompose are activated and decomposed by a series of chemical reactionto lose the poisonousness. Further to this, since the air supplied foraiding the fuel combustion in the engine has been already purified whenit flows through the negative ion inductor (the filter screen) 4 toperform perfect combustion, the exhaust gas of the engine no morecontains those poisonous and disgusting SO₂ or CO gases thereby theobject of improving the quality of surrounding atmosphere can beachieved.

It is noted from the above description that by employing the filterscreen to the apparatus for aiding vehicle fuel combustion and exhaustgas purification according to the present invention is surely effectivefor activating the molecules of the fuel oil by irradiating with a farinfrared ray emitted by the active sphere balls of the apparatus so asto convert the optical energy into electro chemical energy therebyreducing the molecular size of fuel oil, and upgrading the quality ofthe air supplied for aiding fuel combustion. Accordingly, by utilizingthe apparatus of the present invention, the long time disturbing problemof air pollution may be solved.
